Ace was the first to react. He backed up and jumped in after Luffy. The crew instantly started to move into action Zoro and Sanji began to take of there shirts( and swords in Zoro's case) so that they could go after them. Just as they began to move to jump they heard something from below.

"can you guys let us up it's cold and Lu's getting heavy" they stared down in shock at the two, jaws open wide. The waters in the grand line were rough it was unlikely that a normal person would be able to swim in them but children impossible. Yet Ace was clearly doing it like it was a walk in the park.

"hello are you going to help or not?" Ace snapped they pushed a ladder down. Once Ace and Luffy were on it( Ace still holding Luffy) they pulled both of the boy's up. The minute the boy's were on the deck of the ship Chopper grabbed Luffy and began inspecting him. He wasn't breathing. Ace who had noticed this before but was preoccupied with keeping them afloat was panicking. Watching as Chopper did CPR but was failing to do it properly in Ace's eyes. He charged at Chopper. Chopper not expecting the attack was sent flying. The others went to stop Ace but had to stop since Ace had grabbed what looked like a metal pole in his hands when he went charging at Chopper. They didn't want to provoke him any more seeing the defiant look on his face they knew it would mean a fight and Luffy didn't have the time for that. Ace realized this as well and turned his attention to his little brother. Seeing his usually happy go lucky, energetic brother devoid of life it scared him but he used his fear to drive him forward he started to pound on Luffy's chest then gave him mouth to mouth he did this a few times. But it wasn't working his eyes began to water.

"DAMIT LUFFY I JUST LOST ONE BROTHER I CAN'T LOSE ANOTHER!" Ace yelled out in frustration. The crew paused at what Ace had said. Luffy had a third brother? Who had apparently died. There thought's were quickly cut short when they heard coughing and spluttering. Ace gave a cry of joy.

"thank god" Ace said while pulling Luffy into a hug a single tear fell down his face. The two brothers stayed seated like that for a few moment's before someone came and wrapped multiple towels around the two of them.

" you to got to stay warm OK" said Chopper. Ace nodded but averted his gaze. Instantly regretting what he had done to the person.

" s-sorry" he told Chopper then averted his gaze again.

" no problem i understand" Chopper reassured.

" hey Ace" Luffy began.

"yeah?" he replied.

" I'm hungry" Luffy finished

"Always thinking with your stomach" Ace said while a grin creeped onto his face.. the crew was smiling as well.

" I'll make you something to eat while you get changed deal?" Sanji asked they both nodded. After they were in dry clothes they quickly ate Luffy finishing before Ace fell asleep and rested his head on Ace's lap. Ace brushed his fingers through his hair every now and then. He soon began to get drowsy. He had decided he would get up and take Luffy to bed when someone picked them up from behind. Ace was going to to protest but exhaustion taking over kept quiet and curled closer to the person's body

" thanks" he mumbled before completely nodding off.

Sanji smiled down at the two like this they were pretty adorable. He carried them down to the men's quarter. He put Luffy down first. Then went to put Ace down. It was a little harder because Ace had his hands griping on to his shirt. He headed back up the stairs they all had a lot to talk about. When he arrived it was silent very silent. Which was broken when Nami brought up the subject they all were wondering about.

" what do you think Ace meant by..." she paused then dived in

" that they had already lost a brother?" she finished it went silent again nobody really talked about there past unless the information was necessary. Luffy never asked about there's and in return they didn't ask about his.

" I don't know" Zoro began

" but now's not the time to ask we'll do it when they are older" he continued

" unless they tell you and you can't make them tell you it's obvious there still getting over it" he finished. They all agreed and started to head to bed.

" hey Zoro" Nami said

" what" he snapped back

" your on look out tonight" she finished he groaned a fine then headed back o the deck

in the morning

Zoro woke up early like he usually did to get his practising done but he sensed something was off. He gazed at the deck but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. He looked out at the sea and his eyes widened he called for the others. A ship was heading straight for them.
